Re: The Nest Egg

"Twenty-two, twenty-two, come on back to me, come on back to me..."

Michael and I have had many discussions about Lost in America. My contention is that up to the scene at Hoover Dam, LIA is one of the funniest movies ever made. It is greatness. But it all goes WAY downhill after that and loses much of it's steam and humor, at least for me. Michael was all into Albert Brooks and I never "got it" until LIA.

As an aside, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the funniest movie ever made.

"It's just a flesh wound..."
"Help...help..I'm being repressed..."
"Listen, strange women in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government..."

I'm laughing just thinking about HG...I may have to pop in the DVD this weekend.
